Re: Arizona sheriff launches immigration sweep

Maybe for you that is true, but the majority, no way. In all the illegal immigration posts on this forum, how many are in condemnation of the companies hiring the illegals versus blaming the illegals?

I believe it takes two to tango and believe that those who hire illegals should be treated the same way we do drug dealers. Which is throw their asses in jail and make them subject to the assets seizure and forfeiture laws.

How many companies are severely fined for hiring illegals?

I do not know, it would be nice to know.Are there any articles on how much some of these companies involved in these raids are fined?

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear"

If they would have had proper ID, they wouldn't have been deported 80 years ago..........
I could not care less if the name on the ID sounds Spanish, as long as they have one.......

No one will detain an actual Spaniard, as Spaniards are white. They will detain plenty of migrant laborers, as a substantial number are Mexican and the majority of the Mexicans are some type of Mesoamerican Indian or mestizo related to various Nahua groups. A few are our brethren of the Southwestern Indian cultural category, but the white presence increases in northern Mexico, so they're not as prevalent.

It's objectionable for the oldest residents of the Southwest to be detained and harassed by law enforcement because they resemble their brethren and cousins in Mexico or Central America. And even appeasing your nationalism, it's objectionable for mestizo U.S. citizens to be detained and harassed by law enforcement because of that physical resemblance. AP IMPACT: Citizens held as illegal immigrants

Pedro Guzman has been an American citizen all his life. Yet in 2007, the 31-year-old Los Angeles native — in jail for a misdemeanor, mentally ill and never able to read or write — signed a waiver agreeing to leave the country without a hearing and was deported to Mexico as an illegal immigrant.

For almost three months, Guzman slept in the streets, bathed in filthy rivers and ate out of trash cans while his mother scoured the city of Tijuana, its hospitals and morgues, clutching his photo in her hand. He was finally found trying to cross the border at Calexico, 100 miles away.

Now, you want the United States to be a white nationalist haven. There's no precedent for that, since the territory and resources of the Americas were unjustly acquired from the indigenous inhabitants if we want to play that game. Personally, I don't. I'm color-blind.

I've been to Spain and you are correct. The citizens of Spain and the citizens of Mexico are different ethnic groups.

Just because someone speaks Spanish does not make them Spanish.

It's funny but when I was in Yurp people would ask me what I was and I would say American. They all accepted that answer.
